Full Description & Details
Puerto Deportivo de Fuengirola is a 226-berth marina on the seafront promenade of Fuengirola, on the Costa del Sol in Andalusia. It sits at the centre of the town, in the Los Boliches area, and shares its enclosure with the fishing port and the Oceanographic Institute. The marina is managed by the Municipal Society Puerto Deportivo of Fuengirola, which has run the sports area since 1991. The town itself is a tourist hub with 8 km of beaches, an old quarter, and attractions such as Sohail Castle, the Bioparc zoo and the Fuengirola Mosque within easy reach.
The marina offers 226 berths for vessels up to 20 metres in length, with a maximum draft of 3.5 metres. Berths are laid out as alongside lines and stern-to moorings. Water, electricity and Wi-Fi are supplied at the berth, and the holding is in a sheltered harbour basin. The port operates year-round and wintering is popular among cruisers of many nationalities, who choose it for the quality of services and the mild season.
Facilities on site include fuel (diesel and SP 95 petrol), showers, toilets, laundry, a 6-tonne crane and a 30-tonne travel hoist, plus workshops and a mechanic for repairs. Chandlers, nautical equipment shops and a boat storage area on the beach are available. The port has a commercial area with restaurants and terraces, bars, a playground and parking. Supermarkets, banks and pharmacies sit adjacent to the port, and the town centre is directly at the marina gate.
Approach is straightforward from the sea, and the port monitors VHF channel 9. Malaga Airport is about 22 km away, and the provincial capital Malaga is roughly 30 km distant, with road and rail links along the coast. The marina is a practical base for exploring the Costa del Sol, with golf courses and horse riding facilities within a short distance. No restrictions beyond standard marina regulations are noted in the sources.
